Ingredients
- 8 small Granny Smith apples (peeled, cored, and thinly sliced)
- ½ cup Butter (unsalted)
- 3 tbsp All-Purpose Flour
- ½ cup White Sugar
- ½ cup Brown Sugar (packed)
- ¼ cup Water
- 1 (9-inch) double-crust pie pastry, thawed
Directions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Peel, core, and thinly slice apples. Set aside.
- In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat.
- Stir in flour to form a paste; cook for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
- Add white sugar, brown sugar, and water. Stir, bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 3–5 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Line a 9-inch pie dish with one pie crust.
- Roll out the second crust and cut into 1-inch strips for a lattice topping.
- Place sliced apples in the pie shell, forming a slight mound.
- Arrange lattice strips over apples, weaving them for a classic pattern.
- Gently pour the butter-sugar mixture over the crust, allowing it to seep into the apples.
- Bake at 425°F for 15 minutes.
- Reduce oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for an additional 35–45 minutes, until apples are tender and crust is golden brown.
- Let pie rest before slicing.
- Serve warm with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or sharp cheddar cheese.
